STANDARD SERVICES
Cherokee Rose Stud offers agistment, racehorse spelling, breeding and stallion services, foaling down, weaning and yearling education and sales preparation and horse transport to and from the stud.
FENCING AND STABLING
Fencing and stables have been specifically designed to ensure the highest level of safety and comfort for all horses. Paddocks are generous in size and the horses have plenty of their own space for constant grazing and to enjoy freely. To ensure the prevention of any accidents and injury we use Flexi Sita Wire, post, rail and electrics. Weanling paddocks are fenced using post, rail and wire mesh, to ensure playful foals don’t hurt themselves in their surroundings.
Stables have been engineered with the horse’s ultimate comfort in mind and include in-door veterinary facilities to enable fast, on-site treatment.
We can satisfy all requirements from individual stables and day yards, to spacious undulating paddocks.

At Cherokee Rose Stud we are happy to assist in mare selection and can provide advice in pedigree compatibility, commercial and physical viability and desirable attributes when sourcing a mare to send to one of our stallions.

Owner and principal Dr Maxine Brain BVSc (Hons) MACVS (Eq Med) Grad Dip Animal Chiro has been a practicing veterinarian since graduating from Melbourne University seventeen years ago. Prior to establishing Kilmore Equine Clinic six years ago, Maxine worked for renowned veterinarians Jim Vassey and Dr Angus McKinnon at Goulburn Valey Equine Hospital for nearly four years. During this time Maxine maintained a solid client base in the Kilmore region.
Having worked for several prominent predominately equine practitioners before working at GV Equine Hospital, Maxine decided to return to Kilmore to fulfil her dream of owning her own practice and raising a family in the area.

- The veterinary aspects of weanlings and yearlings in sales preparation including post sale endoscopy and pre sale radiography
- The pre-sale inspection of horses (including stallions) for both private and commercial sale.
Whilst servicing many of the large studs in the area, the veterinarians at Kilmore Equine Clinic are known for their diversified interests and skills within the field of equine reproduction and medicine.
They pride themselves on providing information and care for your horse from it’s conception, through birth, weanling and yearling stages and hopefully onto it’s illustrious career as a racehorse.
Combined team experience in stud medicine will provide your mare and her off-spring with only the best possible veterinary care.
